E-Learning Course for Surf Instructors
Title: Ocean Outfitters’s Surf Instructor Course
Modalities: Articulate Rise, Vyond, Camtasia, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Xd, Storytelling
Development: 10 weeks
Challenges: Students arrive at surf instructor in-person training in June with only a few hours to learn the important safety and surf information required to perform the job effectively.
Solutions: Since the audience is primarily adolescents, the course was created using gamification and short videos with a rookie surf instructor as their guide. Students must perform tasks and pass assessments to help the rookie through her first day of surf camp and help the famous Ocean Outfitters’ surf truck make it to surf camp. A certificate is awarded upon completion, which is used as an admission ticket to in-person surf instructor training.
Results: All students completed the course successfully and Ocean Outfitters’ reported a 100% pass rate at in-person instruction.
